In a new escalation that shows the emerging strength of Yemenis, Ansarullah movement has used 10 drones to target two oil facilities of Saudi Arabia’s Aramco company, sparking a huge fire at a plant crucial to global energy supplies.
The facilities in Aramco in Buqayq and al-Khurais were hit by the drones. The attack led to the disruption in Saudi oil production and exports. Reports suggest that the Yemeni forces’ attacks have disrupted 5 million barrels per day of oil production. The amount is almost half of the kingdom's current output.
Yemen’s senior military officials say attacks like this are just the tip of the iceberg in case Riyadh is to continue its war on the country.
Saudi Aramco operates the world's largest oil processing facility and crude oil stabilization plant, with a crude oil processing capacity of more than 7 million barrels per day.
Since the beginning of the Saudi war on Yemen over 17000 civilians have been killed in only direct air strikes. According to the UN over seven million Yemenis are now on the brink of famine.
Now, according to Ansarullah movement, the second phase of deterrence power has begun to show how resilient the Yemenis are in their struggle against Saudi Arabia’s brutal war on the impoverished nation.
